It is the mission of the Department of Safety and Security to provide campus security
services which enhance and support the Strategic Plan of Shoreline Community College.
Our goal is to promote a safe and welcoming environment which recognizes and is respectful
of diversity, and which improves the quality of campus life for students, faculty
and staff.

All students, faculty and staff contribute to making Shoreline a safe, nurturing environment
for learning. We cannot isolate ourselves from the world that surrounds us. The Shoreline
neighborhood that surrounds our campus is one of the safest in the City of Shoreline.
Yet, like anywhere else one would go, there can be dangers. The Department of Campus
Safety and Security is committed to ensuring the safety of students, employees, and
visitors through effective policies and procedures, educational programming, and community
involvement.

There are four main aspects to our goals:

To Serve and Protect:

To create a safe environment conducive to learning by providing campus-wide patrol
and surveillance

Service to the campus community, providing a variety of services and assistance

Crime Prevention:

Providing educational programs to the campus which cultivate safety and security awareness.

Engaging in proactive anticipation, recognition, and appraisal of crime risks, and
taking the action needed to remove or reduce that risk.

Parking Maintenance:

To administer the campus parking and permit program, which accommodates a large variety
of daily and special events on campus.

To maintain a revenue flow which supports the maintenance of existing parking, off-site
parking options, and supports alternate forms of transportation to campus.

Provide efficient and courteous services to the public and campus community, including
traffic movement, response to accidents, resolution of non-criminal disputes, and
emergency auto assistance, as needed.

Violence Reduction:

To bring awareness to and provide education and training in De-Escalation, Harassment,
Intimidation, Work Place Violence, and Domestic Violence

Cultivate a community of responsibility, caring, and willingness to report crime and
violent incidents to the Security Department or Police.
